Kiss us on the cheek 03:47

A sunny winter day on Summer Street It's sweater warm, but colder in the shade I'm afraid it's just a hot freak current from the gulf of Mexico traveled up the coast to kiss us on the cheek and kiss off and leave us in the rain A rainy windy summer day and I accept that I make never feel your gentle warm caress again but then another hot freak current from the gulf of Mexico travels up the coast to kiss us on the cheek

Doctor X Revisited 08:26
lyrics
buy track
his moods have turned to greyer tones now.... he's itching for escape; the crowds are getting to him.... in the evening, i'll awake and go out to greet the moon - such a nocturnal beast i've become.... doctor x built a robot that could think, later on his bots built something he could not comprehend - that spelled the end of human kind, of everything, for a while....

The Fake Fitzgerald Trial (out-tro) 04:26
lyrics
buy track
All those with souvenirs, get them inspected by customs officials - the booth on your right - before you passover, before you cross over tonight. That's the performance. That's the whole show.

about

The tracks for this album were, for the most part (except for #1, which was recorded with Ronok), recorded at home (in the winter of 2005, through the "hobbit hole," tucked into the old servants' quarters of a 155 year-old Victorian mansion on South Park Street in Halifax, NS, ...a beautiful old yellow house, since demolished to make way for a high-rise condominium building...) then remixed and mastered by Ronok Sarkar at 67 Mountain Rd.

credits

released May 5, 2005

Ronok Sarkar appears on bass in various places throughout the album; Michel Ungurain lends percussive support in places; Andrew Long provided the strings on the title track; Chico Connors plays lead guitar in Chaintown and again near the end; Jeff Brown (drums) and Morgan Cadene (bass) back me up on the Fake Fitz out-tro; the horn sounds are mouthed impersonations of trumpets by yours truly - Bill Travis, also on acoustic guitar, egg shaker, charango, vocals, clarinet and bass clarinet.
